What's the matter with the surplus? Oil, it*H all

Rone.

it in BUtftfesteil that the marching cry he: "Whore, where, where's that surplus'.'"'

Tho take-oil" isn't what it was and there is much talk of closing down on the gambling saloons.

The Labor Kn|iiirer, of Chicago, undertook to follow tho Henry (!eorge free trade movement and the once prosperous newspaper is now no more. Workingmen have no use for a free trade paper.

Democratic funds are abundant at present. The campaign malingers are lavish in the expenditure of the money taken from the otliceholders and the Scott llarnum-liriee-l'ayne monopolies. They are like the young spendthrift suddenly come into possession of riches, but the likelihood is that their day of want will come with the ides of November.

The Argo publishes the story that Senator Voorhees was at the residence of the parents of Voorhees Hrookshire when tho boy was born and that he then saiil to them: "Itring that youngster of yours up in tho good old Democratic faith and I'll let him have my seat in congress some day." The "youngster" is the present Democratic candidate for congress. It is possible, however, that Senator Voorhees may yet learn that not he but the people of this district have the "letting" of what was once the senator's seat in congress.

The Indianapols Sentinel says: It Is an acknowledged fact that trades unionism lias done more to advance the standard of wages and Improve the condition of labor than any other single agency, or all other agencies combined. This Is true not only In this country but tu Euro|* as well. A newspaper which tights trades unions advertises itself as an enemy of labor.

We would call the Sentinel's attention to the fact that the Gazette, of this city, lights trades unions because it could not be a union otlice and continue to pay the lieggarly wages it does a scale of wages less than prevails in any daily newspaper otlice in a city of the size of Terre Haute in the United States.

William Henry Hurlbert, at onetime editor of the New York World, and who recently sent from Tjondon, his present place of residence, to the national Democratic committee a denial of Mr. IHaine's statement as to the poverty of the Faiglish wage-earner, has written a book entitled "keland I'nder Coercion— The Diary of an American." To show that this so-called American defender of the Euglish free trade policy is an En­

glishman, as to the American idea of home rule as well as an Englishman as to the American idea of protection, it is sufficient to saj that the London Times devotes five columns of lavish praise to the boob.

Here is the story of campaign boodle demanded from the Standard oil ring as represented in the Cleveland reform administration:

Mr. Cleveland's check on the RIggs bank for {10,900 was equalled by similar checks from Postmaster-! ieneral Dickinson and Secretary of the Interior Vilas. Secretary Whitney gave a check for $25,(JUU. Other members of the cabinet also added fat checks, though not quite so large. Secretary Bayard is absent from the city. Ue Is comparatively poor, but he will doubtless yet show ills devotion to his party. Senator Payne, of Ohio, Mr. Whitney's father-in-law, sent Mr. Brice a check for $20,000. and Oliver Payne, his son, added £25,000 more. The Hon. Win. L. Scott gave Mr. Brice a modest check for $50,000. But lie Informed Mr. Brlce to go ahead and hustle things along, and, above all, to have no fear for funds. He said he spoke for himself and other warm friends of the party who were ready to furnish all the money that could In any way be used for the ••legitimate" puposes of the national campaign.

When Mr. Blaine said the tariff was not responsible for the existence of trusts he spoke the truth as it is known by all who honestly study the tariff question. Those who assert otherwise do so either through ignorance or the less honorable motive to make capital by appealing to ignorant prejudice. The whisky trust, the anthracite coal pool, the coffee ring, and worse than all the Standard Oil company, are in no wise protected by the tariff yet they are the most gigantic combines of all. As Mr. Maine said, "England is plastered all over with trusts." The London Iron and Trade Circular of June 30th says:

The largest amalgamation of business firms which has ever taken place has been accomplished, and the prosiectus of the company will be issued in the course or a tew days. There are eighteen collin furniture makers In England, Scotland and Ireland, and the whole of these have joined together In one large company with a capital of JLMXMXJ0, part of which capital will beotferedto the public for subscription.

The London Iron and Steel Trades Journal of a later date, July 14th, thus speaks of this "amalgamation of business linns:"

The practice of combination to maintain prices In certain branches of the English iron trade Is extending.

THE SHORT WHEAT CROP.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Gazette, is trying to make a point on the shortage of the world's wheat crop. Europe it says, in its own free and easy way "is going to buy something over a hundred million bushels of our surplus wheat." Then this contemporary of ours proceeds to run at large affrighted with this nightmare:

And it will be further observed that our farmers will sell this wheat of theirs In competition with the pauper raised wheat of England, Germany, Austria, France, Russia and India without any help from the government whatever. But when they sell their wheat abroad they can not buy what they want there, and can get there cheaper than our homegrown protected trust monopolists will sell It for, without paying a tine at the custom house at New York In the shape of a tarlll ix. For you see It Is splendid to sell abroad, but a crime to buy there according to the creed of the trust monopolists, yueer philosophy, Isn't It?

Getting out of the atmosphere of this rant sort of talk, what are the facts presented to reasonable human beings who are glad they live in this American republic.

First: The illusion that the farmers' market is the foreign market is quickly removed by the fact that less than 0 per cent of his product goes to a foreign market. The industrial centers make his market—the protected centers, if you will. This market is the one that has increased the value of the farmers' land. The men who toil in this country eat 01 per cent, of what the farmer produces. If you let in the foreign manufacturers' product you remove the farmers home market, the best of all markets because lirst, it removes the transportation cost and the prolits of middlemen.

This talk about the wheat surplus is a relic of the days when we talked of cotton as king. Wheat is but a small consideration in a farmer's prosperity nowadays. The manufactories make a market for all his product tho home market especially for his diversified perishable product. The manufactories in this Wabash valley coal region have made the best market in the state for all things from the farm. As a result the farmers' land has enhanced in value and the farmer and his family are to-day enjoying more of the comforts and luxuries of life than ever before. There are more pianos, musical instruments of all kinds, periodical literature, household furniture, in these counties than were dreamed of before the protective tariff enabled the country to not only suppress a cruel rebellion, pay the consequent debt and put a snug surplus in the treasury.

Take from the Wabash valley farmer this market in the vain hope of helping him dispose of the 0 per cent, of his wheat crop that goes abroad and what is the net result?

Chicago Mall. it Is becoming necessary to pay a little attention to our Justices. Curious things happen In their courts. One seems to have been pretty closely related to his constable In what was a blackmailing scheme, another released without tine a notorious bully who committed an Illegal and brutal assault at a race course, and others are accused ot acts only less Inexplicable. Our Justices of the peace will-some of them stand watching.

POLITICAL DRIFTWOOD.

The labor nominations at Milwaukee have caused a good deal of bitterness, and it is believed that the party will be disrupted by factional fights.

It required 730.Democrats in the New York custom house to do the work under thiB reform administration that was well done by 423 Republicans under Arthur.

Henry George is raising a considerable campaign fund in behalf of the'Democratic free trade fight. Every subscriber to Mr. George's Standard is now receiving an extra copy to be placed where it will do the most good.

David Stark Jordan, president of the State university at Bloomington, and a pronounced free trader and a leading member of a Civil Service Reform club in the university, has concluded to vote for Harrison for president.

General Ilovey's welcome home at Mt. Vernon, was truly a magnificent affair. It is not often that every feature that is promised on such occasions is carried out to the letter, but in this instance expectations were more than realized.

John Jarrett, ex-president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel workers, who is in Wisconsin just now, says that while he lived in England he was a free trader but, on coming to America, he discovered that the party which favored human slavery here also advocated free trade whereupon he became a protectionist.

The popular fashion among Democratic federal officials of disregarding Cleveland's civil service reform admonitions is closely followed out in Indianapolis. "The Journal" of that city says that Leon Bailey, assistant district-at-torney, is devoting himself entirely^ to politics these days, while the postoilice has been converted into a regular campaign workshop.

Mr. Duncan Harrison, the playwright, is quoted as saying that members of the dramatic profession are more deeply interested in politics than has been the case for many years. He sajs moreover, that most of them are going to vote the Republican ticket, giving the ground for his belief as follows: "In the Theatrical Exchange in New York there are 235 membein and I made a poll of t'aeru recently and found that 203 were going to vote for Harrison and Morton. Now, of these 203,101 voted for Cleveland four years ago. Don't you think that a pretty significant straw?"

Both national committees are arranging to flood the country with a class of small campaign literature. The Republicans will issue millions of little leaflets, cards, files for notebooks, date marks, etc., to argue in favor of protection. Fancy illustrated cards are to be got out to be placed in street and other railway cars and omnibuses, and are to have a few words of printed matter giving the keynote of the Republican campaign. The Democrats will meet these with similar productions, giving the other side of the question. A large number of campaign books will also be circulated in addition to the hundreds of thousands of tariff speeches.

Congressman Mason is back in Washington much pleased with his New York experiences. At Glen Cove, where the Duryea starch works are, he says he was taken to the house of one of the proprietors, who told him that of the seven members of his family connected with the works six had voted for Cleveland four years ago. All were determined to vote for Harrison and protection this year. Over 1000 men in the works, who had voted the Democratic ticket four years ago, had expressed their intention of supporting the Republican candidates this fall, and the town committee was said to have the names of 100 Democrats in that one manufacturing town who will follow the same course.

Captain John W. Hannah, who has been nominated by the Republicans for congressman in the Butler, Mo., district, was born February 10,1839, on a farm in Edgar county, 111. In 1803 with his parents he moved to the town of Paris, when he attended the public schools of that place. In 18G1 he entered the three months' service as private in Company A, Twelfth Illinois, Colonel McArthur. At the close of his enlistment he re-en-listed in the Sixty-second Illinois, with which he served until mustered out. He settled at Butler in 1SGG and has been prosperous as a merchant. While he has a majority of over 3,000 to overcome, owing to opponent's perfidy and unpopularity his friends think he has a lighting show of success.

At the weekly meeting of the Central Labor Union a resolution was passed censuring the publisher of the Central Labor Union Journal for allowing an article to be inserted in it favoring free trade. Ernest Bohm presented a resolution from the Excelsior Labor club, condemning the conspiracy laws of NewYork 6tate, and asking that James Archibald, who is a member of the political committee of ten, be expelled from that committee for presiding at a mass-meet-ing in Cooper Union to indorse Grover Cleveland and Allen G. Thurman as candidates for "an old rotten party which supported the inhuman system of chattel slavery, is an enemy to organized labor, and is the same corrupt party that it was in the days of its favorite son, Boss Tweed.'' Chairman Barr ruled the resolution out of order, but an appeal was taken and upheld by a vote of -17 to 27. The resolution was then reported to the proper committee.

Next Monday, September 10, the state election will be held in Maine. Blaine leads the Republican campaign there in person, as is proper nnd as it is his privilege and duty to do For some reason, probably because Mr. Blaine is not himself the'llepublican candidate for president, and the people are therefore expected to take less interest in the result, it appears as if Republican politicians expect a less majority than was given at the state election four years ago. At that time the Republican majority was 19,709, less than some high tide Republican majorities at state elections in previous years, but also much greater than in close contests in other years. The following is the vote on the Maine state ticket in four presidential years:

Hepub- Demo-

Years, llcan. crat. Majorities. 71.M17 54.701 17,216 Rep. ISTfi 75.NJ7 10.423 15,444 Kep 1SSI... 78.5»7 74.786 189 I')em. lt?S4 77.77'J 6S.070 l'J.703 Rep.

It will be seen that at the state electon in Maine in 1SS0 the Democrats carried the state. At the November election Garfield carried the state by 8,8(58 majority over Hancock and by 4,-IG0 majority over all. From these various figures, as they are used by the politicians of the different parties, various conclusions will be drawn. The prob.ibility is that Maine will go Republican next week by at least 15,000 majority, and will go for Harrison and Morton in November by 20,000.

boat. A young Englishman was on board and used to take a hand at 50 cent poker with the two generals and another of the passengers of an evening. On one occasion the Englishman wanted to get up to light a cigar and requested General Sheridan to play his hand, which consisted of four jacks pat, for him. On the Englishman's return he asked how his hand had panned out. "Oh," said Sheridan, "the general (meaning Grant) bet me fifty cents, and I called him and won you the pot." The Englishman looked at him in amazement. and then stuttered out: "Well, I've heard of military discipline but I'm hanged if I ever heard of it going that far." ______

Hoys and Girls in llolland.

A letter from a lady traveling in Holland tells how they distinguished the boys from the girls in that country: They were all dressed alike in dark, full skirts and gray bodices. All had long hair and long, thick "bangs" trained to stand out under their tight caps like little visors to shade their eyes. We began to wonder why they were all girls, wlien suddenly the guide seized one, saying: Do you think this is a boy or a girl?" When we 6aid "Girl" he whisked the child around and pointed to a little red and white crown piece in the back of its' cap. "No," he said, "girls' caps are plain. Until the children are 8 years old you can't tell a boy from a girl except from the backs of their heads." By asking the children their names we found the guide was right, and we all wondered what young America would say it he were obliged to dress like his sister till he was 8 years old.

riuyt'd It Low Down ou Him.

At South Beach, S. I., the other day a handsome young athlete was bathing in an elaborate blue and white suit. After he had been in the water for a short time a fashionably dressed and extremely pretty young woman, who had b*en lounging on the sand carrying a baby, called him and with a charming smile asked him to take the little one out for a dip. He took the child and, despite its cries, carried it into the water. He returned in a few moments to the young mother and, after a short chat, took the child at her request to dip it into deeper water. When he waded back to the

shore he was surprised to find that the young woman was gone. After hunting everywhere for her he put on his clothes' and started for the city.

FRESCOED NOSES NOT PRETTV.

A Doctor Says That Plenty of Cheese Will Reduce the Crimson.

"I will give §500 to the man who will restore my noee to its natural color," said a well-dressed man in a down town saloon to a Philadelphia Record reporter. Then, as if to give zest to his remark, he gulped down a big drink of whisky, and putting the glass down on the bar, he took along and wistful look into the dim perspective of his life when his nasal organ was of the tinge it should be now. "I don't know how it ever got so red," he continued, after ordering "a little of the same." At this remark the bartender winked slyly at the man's companion and gave a significant glance at the empty glass on the bar.

A physician who makes his headquarters in a Chestnut street drug store was asked if there was any way in which a man could be cured of his red nose, and his answer was an emphatic "no." "It is a bad thing to have a red nose," he said, "because most people think that it was brought about by whisky-drinking, and, while this belief is justified in a majority of instances, it is not always the case. One of Philadelphia's most prominent men has a nose as red as a rooster's comb, and I know that he never drank a drop of liquor in his life. He will carry it with him to his grave. Cheese, if eaten frequently and in large quantities, will delay reddening of the nose, but if a man is a confirmed toper the whisky and the cheese will have a tussle, and the whisky will untimately get there and fresco the noBe for him in the most approved style."

THE ITALIAN KOYAI, MARRIAGE.

Romantic Festivities t« Celebrate the Wed li»g of the Duke of Aosta.

A correspondent of Galignani Messenger reports from Turin that on the occasion of the marriage of the Duke of Aosta the Via Po will be converted into a gallery of Mowers, the archways of the collonades being fitted up into stalls. The flowers will be sold for charitable purposes. The carriages with the "bridal party will start from the Piazzo Castello, preceded by a troop of footmen in the picturesque costume of the court of Louis XV., followed by pages in satin doublets with blue and scarlet ribbons and caps with feathers, the youths of the nobility and gentry of Turin will represent these pages. Next will come sixteen horsemen in costumes of the same period, and they will be followed by the royal carriages, each drawn by six horses capparisoned in satin and gold and led by running footmen.

The royal personages will take their seats in a pavillion erected in the Piazza Vittorio. The corporation of the city will present flowers to the Princess Lietitia.
